Cooling down


Fashion’s new mini-break


foodie destination is: Somerset
She’s the matriarch of the hipster food scene with her east London
restaurant, Rochelle Canteen. Now the chef Margot Henderson
(above left) is heading to Somerset, the fashion set’s favourite
county, for her first pub with rooms. Opening this November in
Batcombe, a 15-minute drive from Bruton (Stella McCartney and
Phoebe Philo live in the area), the Three Horseshoes is already the
hottest opening of the year and you can’t even book a table yet.

Formidable! Josephine


Baker is your new muse
The original OTT performance artist, Josephine
Baker, is set to return, with the singer Janelle Monáe
starring in a TV show, De La Resistance, about her
secret life as a spy. Baker took Paris by storm in the
1920s with her risqué burlesque cabaret and became
a muse to Cocteau and Colette. Her distinct fashion
style has been referenced by Kerry Washington,
Beyoncé and Yara Shahidi. The show is being made
by A24, which brought us Moonlight and Everything
Everywhere All at Once — so expect the unexpected.

Heating up


The Barometer


▲ SEX BOMB
Not the Tom
Jones song,
it’s the bold
new culture
clash/dating
memoir
(demoir?)
by stand-up
comic Sadia
Azmat

▲ ‘WEAPONISED
INCOMPETENCE’
When your partner does
the washing-up/cleaning
badly — on purpose!

▲ DIRTY SHIRLEY TEMPLES
Vodka, Sprite, grenadine
and a cherry: the new
Aperol spritz. Hic!

▲ SHOWGIRL CHIC
Channel Nomi Malone
this party season:
heels and not many
clothes (unless it’s
Versace, of course)

▼ FRENCH MANICURES
Right now, the freakier
the manicure (3D, T. rex
style) the better

▼ NOTES APP APOLOGIES
The A-list way to
apologise now. It feels ...
weird, insincere and
written by the work
experience

▼ I LOVE YOU FOREVER
Stop saying it, boomers.
Say ‘1437’ instead.
(This is what the
viral TikTok phrase
means, apparently)

▼ MAN SPRAY TAN
No thank you,
male celebrities on
the red carpet
